Well, it is that time of year again. The apples are falling, the woolly-bears crawling, and Dragons and their people are getting together around the world to celebrate WAFDE’s second annual Month of the Dragon.
As the last remaining founder of WAFDE, it falls to me and my ever-growing cadre of fellow dracophiles, to keep the association’s traditions alive, the joy of Dragons spreading out across the known world(s). Note: Dragonic reach is Cosmic!
As an extra-added attraction, it is the Year of the Dragon – Water Dragon to be precise – and her spiky-wiky energy is just gushing through the Universe! It emboldens our actions and enlivens our dreams (even those of us born outside her blessing)!

Currently, our calendar for the month – flexible as the most serpentine of Nagas – looks something like this:
Posts and discussions will be timely, germane, and by turns, full of whimsy and magick! I am also delighted to announce we will be joined by several new guest bloggers this year! The more the merrier!
As an added bonus – as if we needed one! – on November 1, I will be doing a random drawing among all folks who comment during the MotD. The winner receives a signed copy of my new book, Dragons for Beginners (Llewellyn Worldwide, 11/2012).
It being time to go with the draconic flow, I’m also working on a few other surprises along the way. Stay tuned.
So.
Welcome, my Dragon friends and your people. Pull up a chair, pour a suitable libation, and settle in for a rollicking month of all things Dragon, True and lesser. Invite your friends, scaled and not. And join in. The best part of the Month of the Dragon is hearing from everyone who has encountered our friends – how they have been touched, how they have been changed. For who can meet a Dragon and not be profoundly transformed!
Hang onto your hats. It’s going to be a glorious ride!
looks like a grand month of celebrations for the dragon. will watch for the guest speakers and look forward to see who will win the autographed copy of shawn’s new book “Dragons for Beginners” – due out soon. love the golden dragon at the top if post. WOW that is one awe-inspiring Dragon. J.K.
Thanks, J.K. Yes, this month should be something special. Tell all your friends–always open to winning converts to the ways of the Dragons.

Reblogged this on the secret keeper and commented:
I feel as though I have known dragons most of my life. I grew up with the terrible stories of how dragons were hunted and slaughtered because they were malighned with stories of being these terrible and dangerous creatures. Those stories were spread by those who wanted the world of the dragon to be erased from the true history of the creation of the universe and the role that dragons played in that and also in how dragons affected history througnout the early times. But those who took power wanted to wipe the dragns from the face of the earth. They were not successful. Hiding was good alternative to the extinction of the species in all its forms. Only special people can see dragons. The person who wrote this blog knows of their existence quite well. It is now the month of the Dragon, October. What is in store for the celebration you will find that out by going to the blog site from which I reblogged this post and the ones to follow. http://mackenziesdragonsnest.wordpress.com/2012/10/01/the-world-association-for-dragons-everywhere-presents-the-2nd-annual-month-of-the-dragon/ follow it back and contiue throughout the month of October to enjoy the festivities and the learning about dragons. Also, discover the books that Shawn MacKenzie has written about Dragons: “Dragon Keeper’s Hand book” and her soon to be released: “Dragon for Beginners.” Enjoy! with love and support, J.K. the secret keeper

Hi Shawn,
Here’s another date(s) you could add to your MOTD calendar… “Dragon Awakening Within” at the New Moon on October 15th or 16th (depending on where you are in the world). The information comes from a website called Evenstar Creations but I’ve copied it onto my Dragon Dreaming blog (with full credit/acknowledgement of course to the original author)… http://dragondreaming.wordpress.com/2012/10/09/dragon-awakening-within/
Dragon Blessings,
Topaz
Thank you for this, Topaz. I will add it to the Calendar!
It is so wonderful that you have had such success. It just took a while to gather all your information. Wonderful!
Thank you, dear Jean! Hope the books arrived in one piece and are being enjoyed.
BTW, did you get clobbered by that big storm? Missed us completely!
